Sauer Stick - Solid Hevea Wood Vegetable Pounder and Tamper for Mason Jar Fermentation, Kimchi, Sauerkraut - Fits Ball, Kerr, Bernardin Canning Jars as Well as Fido Jars and Ceramic Crocks

The stick has many different uses. It's perfect for use as a pestle for grinding coffee beans in the 5 x 5 wood mortar. The pestle that came with my mortar is hollow and fragile. This stick is solid and sturdy! I highly recommend it!

The pounder works perfectly for making sauerkraut. It is a good weight, easy to hold and work with.

This is an excellent tool. Well built and solid. It is made of one piece of wood and looks like it will last me a lifetime. Very attractive.

I was amazed at the workmanship of this stick. My father used to do beautiful woodwork and this is equal to his quality. I mean, it's just a kitchen tool to pound cabbage for sauerkraut, and I didn't expect something that would be worthy of display! It's also efficient. The length is perfect, the wood is very smooth. I used the wide end to pound in the bowl, while the smaller end fit perfectly into the jar for additional pounding and pressing. I would buy this again.
